Le Sommeil Rouge

1999

“A woman appears, disappears. Others will follow, imposing without anecdote or superficial gestures a strong presence in an apparent calm. The unsettling atmosphere of Sommeil Rouge captures your attention, without you knowing what really matters, without you feeling totally seduced. This ambiguous title expresses the full force of Nacera Belaza’s choreography. A finely composed female quartet becomes the setting for a sensual, yet contact-breaking dance…”
